• Destination-hash distribution based on the destination address only. IP
forwards all packets with a given destination address to the same next hop.
If you enable equal-cost multipath support on the router, IP can store multiple
equal-cost best RIP and OSPF routes in the routing table. When RIP or OSPF
submits a route to a destination, one of the following events occurs:
• IP determines that the current route to that destination is better than the new
route. IP discards the new route.
• IP determines that the new route is better than the current route. IP discards
the current route and replaces it with the new route. If the routing table
contains multiple equal-cost best routes, IP discards all of these routes.
• IP determines that the new route and the current route have the same cost. IP
adds the new route to the routing table -- up to a maximum number that you
specify. If the routing table already contains the maximum number of
equal-cost routes from RIP or OSPF, IP discards the route.
By default, equal-cost multipath support is disabled on the router. If you enable
equal-cost multipath support on the router, you must set the maximum number of
equal-cost routes (up to five) that IP stores in the routing table for RIP and OSPF.
Using the BCC
To enable or disable equal-cost multipath support, navigate to the IP global
prompt (for example,
box; ip) and enter:
ecmp-method
<method>
method
is one of the following:
disabled (default)
roundRobin
srcDestHash
destinationHash
To specify the maximum number of equal-cost paths for RIP, navigate to the IP
global prompt (for example,
box; ip) and enter:
rip-max-paths
<max_number>
max_number
is an integer from 1 (the default) through 5.
